I've used pack and send a few times, mainly because a friend shipped his 20" to and from the US a few times without any drama. Not the cheapest, but at least the guy in the Bibra Lake shop has some experience with big scopes.
I've shipped an old Meade research grade from Perth to Melbourne, and a Unitron photo equatorial from Canberra to Perth without a hitch. I'm about to entrust them with my G11, so I hope they keep up the good work!
Cheers,
Andrew.
